On continents- Wars have been wagedAnd bad blood as been shedIn countries- Leaders have been madeAnd some promises were never kept

In towns- Peaceful protests have been plannedIt was just another way to fight againstIn cities- Raging riots have been startedBecause they were fed up with all the bullshit-There are established governmentsWho are supposed to be for the peopleBut they continue to make corrupted investmentsIt's just a group who exercise and taint their freewill

We have soldiers we praise and soldiers who shock us on the newsSome fight for their nations and some fight with their titles that's abused

We have police officers who serve and protect, but there's also dirty copsEach one has a reason but some are just in it for the money, which is never enough

There will always be another side! / There is always another face to hide!Greed is in cahoots with pride! / Envy and wrath devour the mind!Lust and gluttony collide inside! / Sloth doesn't divide truth from lie!

As humans we have both inspiring dreams and aspiring nightmaresMost of us live free but a majority of us are forced to hide in fear

Shamed to feel love and passion for another of the same genderForgive the repeating hypocrites but damn the unnatural sinners

There are religious beliefs that are never unwrittenPrayers are louder than bombs exploding and buildings crashingFrom generation to generation so it's never forgottenHear the unsung hymn of the priests reaping young innocence-Through the streets- Drugs are dealt and gunshots are heardWealth and occupations can be very scarceIn our homes- Families are torn apart because addictions got worseA fix is a gift and withdrawals are a curse

In this life- We want to believe that some things can be pureJust to give us a sense of comfortIn this strife- All resolves have their morals to endureFor we all are born to smile and to suffer

Violence and harmony never really changeBecause the spoils of war guide thy fate_________________________________________Stock image - [link] by Texture used - [link] by _________________________________________If you like my work, swing by my facebook page and hit "like"To get access to never before seen work and extras! ---> [link]_________________________________________This poem is written for my project, titled- "Broken Wings Unbound: I'm Falling Down / I'm Soaring Now"In volume seven: Dire Downfall_________________________________________Check out my galleries below if you want to read more.Watch me if you think that you might like my future work.
